    Hi all

    Just wondering, I have to get to Leixlip later on today and the only feasible way is via taxi - I am just wondering am I going to run into trouble with drivers refusing to go out there, claiming its beyond the 30km regulation limit?

    A straight line from City Centre out to Leixlip is around then 20Km - but all roads are not in a straight line :)

    Bus/train is not an option for you ?

    And the regulations limit for outside Dublin was done away with.

    Basically you are heading out the N4 and getting of at the lexslip junction.
    So it's the Con conbert road, chapeliziod by pass, the lucan road, lucan by pass, lexslip road.
    The route is on google maps.
    I have friends who live out there and further on in Maynooth and yes taxis' do go out that far.

    Bus and train are definitely out - its case of leaving work and getting out there before 7:30 on a Friday...in rush hour

    The train does it in about half hour and leaves from Connoly.

    Neither train station, Confey or Louisa Bridge will leave you anywhere near Cooldrinagh. The bus however, will. Get the 66X and get off at the stop just after the Springfield hotel, there's signs Guiness Becketts etc, and the road to the left is the one you want. The last X is at 6 and will get you there at 7.

    The 67 or 67A to Celbridge will leave you at the opposite entrance to Cooldinagh beside Weston Airport on Celbridge/Dublin Rd, about 5 min walk after that. A taxi will cost approx €25-€30.
    The 66 bus to Leixlip should leave you very close to Becketts if thats where you are off to.

    A taxi would go there no problem, but yea the 66/66a/66b will leave you right beside Beckets. It'll take about an hour-ish just get off after this massive cattle mart thingy just after a bridge and a roundabout.
